Q&A
JENNIFER
McBride, 30, is a member of the the team from Finaghy
Methodist Church going to Tanzania this summer to help local
people in the village of Magu build a multi-purpose building
to be used for a worship centre, a nursery school, community
events, youth centre, health care and library. The team will
also be involved in other projects including supplying water
pumps to develop small farms and working with schools and
families.
In 2005 she travelled to Tanzania and
because of the success of that visit and the impression made
in the very poor part of Africa she decided to return. Since
her last visit the Church has been supporting 151 orphans

supplying hundreds of mosquito nets.

Coming home from Tanzania after eating potatoes and rice for
three weeks to my Mum's Sunday dinner.

passion for the work in Tanzania.
What was the most frightening moment of
your life?
I can't think of one on the spot.

pounds?
Too much responsibility. I would have no idea how to
spend that much money.

There isn't one person in particular.
Describe your best ever holiday. What
would your dream holiday be? -
When I was in Tanzania in 2005, we took a three day
holiday from the building site and stayed in the Serengeti.
it was one of the most fantastic experiences of my life. We
saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hippos
and crocodiles � I loved every minute of it. It was lovely
to have a couple of days to relax after all the building
work.
What is your greatest remaining
ambition?
To make a difference to less fortunate people.
If you could spend a day with a celebrity
whom would you choose?
Wentworth Millar.
